Coles Crossing residents, exciting updates are coming to our community’s tennis and pickleball courts! As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing our recreational amenities, the Board has started a comprehensive resurfacing project for all six tennis courts, with Court 6 being designated as a dual-use court for both tennis and pickleball.

What’s Included in the Project?
The work, carried out by AAA Court Services, includes several key upgrades:

1. Fence Replacement: The existing fence mesh will be removed and replaced with new green vinyl-clad heavy-duty mesh. Gates will also be repainted, and peeled spots on the fence frame touched up to ensure both durability and a polished look.

2. Light Pole Painting: The light poles will be sanded down and painted with industrial-grade Hunter Green rust-oleum paint, ensuring they remain in excellent condition for years to come.

3. New Windscreens: Custom green windscreens with vents and reinforced borders will be installed, providing optimal wind resistance and a clean, professional appearance.

4. Backboard Replacement: The backboard will be removed and replaced to support practice play.

5. Court Resurfacing: The courts will undergo a thorough cleaning and repair process, including patching low spots, filling cracks, and applying multiple coats of resurfacing paint for a more durable and comfortable playing surface. Fresh white lines for tennis and pickleball will also be painted, ensuring multi-purpose use.

 

Court 6 will be restriped to include two pickleball courts, using an industry-standard color scheme for a polished, professional look—great news for our growing pickleball community!

 

The courts are a vital part of Coles Crossing’s recreational amenities, drawing players of all skill levels from across the community. Regular maintenance like this not only preserves the quality of play but also reinforces the value of our community as a premier place to live.

The project started in December 2024 and is expected to be completed by January 2025, with the goal of minimizing disruptions to players. During this time, court closures will occur in phases: one side of the facility (three courts) will be closed while the other three courts remain open for continued play. This approach ensures that tennis activities can still take place throughout the resurfacing process.

 

Thank you for your patience as we complete this important upgrade. We look forward to seeing you on the courts soon, enjoying these refreshed facilities!
